Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a diet feed for animals, which does not impair the eating habits of animals and can obtain a diet effect.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Today, animals such as pets including dogs and cats are indispensable for humans, and have come to live with their owners as a member of the family. As a result, pets and other animals give food as they desire, and as with humans, obesity due to excessive caloric intake or lack of exercise gradually increases, and health problems and illnesses associated therewith also become a problem.

However, pets such as dogs and cats cling to the owner when they are hungry and begging for food, and the owner repeatedly feeds food, which is a problem of obesity. It is the fact that it is extremely difficult to solve it because of the affectionate affection.

As described above, animals such as dogs and cats and other pets are conspicuous, as described above, such as obesity, movement disorders, health disorders, and diseases, which are serious problems for owners. There is. For this reason, pet owners must also try to reduce the fat content and calorie content of the pet food material itself, as well as provide sufficient nutrition, vitamins and minerals, but such feeds are often used. There was a problem in practical use due to the increase in raw material costs and the reduction in eating habits of pets. Also, in domestic animals such as pigs and cows, it is necessary to suppress obesity in females for breeding in order to enhance their reproductive ability, so care must be taken in the feed given at this time.

By the way, Guar (C
The guar gum obtained by drying and crushing the endosperm part of the seeds of Yomopsis tetragonolobus is β
It is a polysaccharide consisting of -D-mannose and α-D-galactose, and is widely used as a natural paste in the food field. For example, for thickening and stabilizing ice cream, sorbet, pudding, etc. It is used for juice, sauce, dressing, etc. for turbidity, and for instant noodles, sausages, konjac, bread, kamaboko, etc. for binding, binding and water retention. In the production process of this guar gum, the germ is separated from the seeds of guar, but this germ is generally discarded and its effective use has not been achieved.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Under the circumstances, the present invention aims to provide a diet feed for animals which can obtain a diet effect by utilizing the germ of guar which has not been used conventionally. It was made as.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] As a result of intensive studies to develop a diet diet for animals that suppresses obesity, the present inventors have found that germs of guar seeds contain proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. In addition to containing nutrients such as species, it is a substance suitable for animal taste, and it was found that the feed mixed with the germ of guar seed has an obesity suppressing effect on animals, and the present invention was completed based on this finding. Came to do.

[0008] That is, the present invention provides an animal diet feed comprising an embryo isolated from guar seed, or a basic composition of an animal feed containing the embryo isolated from a guar seed.

[0009]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The animal diet feed of the present invention comprises the germ itself isolated from guar seeds, or the conventional animal feed basic composition containing the germ isolated from guar seeds. The origin of seeds of the guar is not particularly limited, and seeds obtained from guar of any production origin such as Indian, Pakistan, and American origin may be used.

As a method for separating the germ from the seeds of guar, for example, a method of removing the seed coat from the seeds of guar by heating and mechanical treatment and then removing the germ from the endosperm can be used. You may use the method of. This germ contains proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals and is highly nutritious. In this way, the germ separated from the guar seeds is thoroughly washed, then dried and then ground or roasted and ground by a grinder.

This germ powder may be used as it is or in the form of pellets, or a predetermined proportion of the germ powder may be mixed in the stage of producing animal feed such as pet food, or commercially available dry powder. The amount of guar germ powder may be appropriately mixed with the type or wet type pet food according to the desired prescription according to the animal weight loss. Then, it is not necessary to restrict the diet to the animal, and may be provided with a food containing guar germ powder as much as desired. When the germ powder is added to the animal feed basic composition, it is preferably added in an amount of 10 to 200 parts by weight, preferably 50 to 150 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the animal feed basic composition.

[0012]

The guar germ used in the diet diet for animals of the present invention has a large diet effect and is rich in nutrients such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, and moreover, it is preferable for pets. It has excellent features such as not having a great influence on Therefore, the diet diet for animals of the present invention can be obtained by adding the above-mentioned guar germ powder in the process of producing the animal feed or by adding the guar germ powder to a commercially available animal feed such as pet food.

According to the present invention, as a result of being cherished like a human being as a member of the family, the body becomes obese, while the number of dogs and cats whose dietary habits have a clear preference for pet food is increasing. At home, it can be mixed with a pet food suitable for the taste of the pet to achieve a diet while maintaining the taste, and it is also effective in preventing obesity of breeding livestock. Further, for animal feed and pet food manufacturers, it is possible to provide a diet food with the same taste as an additional product of the feed that has been conventionally sold, and it is possible to meet a wider range of demand.

[0014]

EXAMPLES Next, the present invention will be described in more detail by way of examples.

Example 1 An embryo separated from guar seeds is thoroughly washed with water, dried and then roasted. This roast is
This is for improving the flavor and facilitating fine pulverization. Next, the germ treated in this way is crushed for 20 seconds with a commercially available mixer to obtain germ powder,
An equal amount of this animal feed MF (manufactured by Oriental Yeast) was mixed with the pulverized product to prepare an animal diet feed.

Example 2 Guar germ powder was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, and 100% of the powder was used as a feed for 4-week-old mice (BAL).
Five (B / C female) were given under the same conditions as in Example 1, and the change in body weight of the mice depending on the elapsed days was measured. The results are shown in Table 1.
Shown in.

[0017]

[Table 1]

As can be seen from Table 1, eating guar germ alone does not result in obesity. Further, it can be seen that all the mice maintain a healthy body, which contains essential nutrients for pets, is nontoxic, and causes no health problems.

Example 3 A mixed feed containing 50% by weight of guar germ in a group consisting of 5 mice each 10 weeks old (BALB / C female),
For comparison, the compounded feed alone was administered and the change in average weight of each was investigated. The results are shown in FIG. 1 as a graph of body weight (g) with respect to the number of days elapsed. In the figure, A shows the case where 50% by weight of guar germ is mixed, and B shows the case where the mixed feed is used alone. In addition, changes in food intake per hour for the same mouse were examined, and the results are shown as a graph in FIG. In the figure, A shows the case where 50% by weight of guar germ is mixed, and B shows the case where the mixed feed is used alone. From these graphs, it can be seen that the addition of guar germs to the normal mixed feed causes weight loss even though the food intake does not change.
